KEYSER, W.Va. — More than two years since leaving her prison cell, the woman who became the grinning face of the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal spends most of her days confined to the four walls of her home.

Former Army reservist Lynndie England hasn't landed a job in numerous tries: When one restaurant manager considered hiring her, other employees threatened to quit.

She doesn't like to travel: Strangers point and whisper, "That's her!"

In fact, she doesn't leave the house much at all, limiting her outings mostly to grocery runs.

Two tips;
1) Leave West Virginia, and
2) Change your name.

Hey Lyndie: Suck it up and soldier, soldier. You put yourself in this position, now work yourself out of it. Get a thicker skin, take whatever job you can get and drive on.

Colonel, USAFR

I was told her local reputation wasn’t the best to begin with.

Maybe she could “remake” herself into, say, the Argentine lover of some southern politician.

It’s a bit late now for her to become the secret surrogate mother of one of Michael Jackson’s toys... I mean KIDS.

I’m sure she’ll find something eventually.

What a heartless bunch we here at FreeRepublic have become.

Regardless of her crime, she has paid her debt to society.

She is not a muderer, a rapist, a robber, a pedophile. She is a young woman who had a laspe of judgement. Yes her (and other’s) action embarrassed us, and yes her (and other’s) action may have harmed our nation. For this she was punished.

But is our hate for her action moved her beyound forgiveness?

Sorry, but I have a hard time when she is treated far worse than thousands of people who commit violent crimes in this country.

She can't capitalize on having a dance craze named after her?

Not too many openings for scape goats these days I guess.

I agree. She’s more than paid for her transgressions. Leave her the hell alone and let her get on with her life.

Amen.

What skills did she amass in the army? Anything?

I’m with you, seems these days there is more sympathy for our enemies at Gitmo, than citizens and soldiers at home.

I would also add: plastic surgery and (possibly) start wearing a burka.
